Question 1

Is Taranna a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Taranna is a quiet coastal village on the Tasman Peninsula, set along the Arthur Highway between Eaglehawk Neck and the Port Arthur Historic Site. It has a rural, maritime character of coastal bush, rolling paddocks and stretches of shoreline, with housing made up mainly of timber cottages, simple holiday cabins and small rural blocks rather than dense subdivisions. It attracts long-term locals, retirees and holiday homeowners who favour a slower pace and easy access to the peninsula's walks and sea-cliff scenery, and the locality has a timber jetty and a public boat ramp managed by Tasman Council and Marine and Safety Tasmania.

With a population of 167 and a median age of 59, family life is dominated by couples without children and most homes are owner-occupied. Local council work includes refurbishing public toilets, resurfacing the tennis court, refinishing the community hall and line-marking for basketball and tennis, and the state is consulting on Arthur Highway upgrades that include a proposed overtaking lane and a junction improvement at Pirates Bay Drive. Parts of Tasman National Park near Taranna, including Tasmans Arch and Devil’s Kitchen, have been closed for planned infrastructure improvements.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Taranna?

Accepted Answer

Taranna (7180) had a median total household income of $782 a week at the last Census, but there haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in the suburb to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Without those current price or rent figures, it is not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Taranna compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Accepted Answer
